Sanjay Dutt has many projects to work on after his release from jail. Adding one more to it is Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s sister Shelly Chopra’s directorial debut, ‘Marco’. Sanjay will be seen playing a Goan in the film and the film will be extensively shot in Goa and Chennai. A source revealed, “Pre-production for the film begins in August. It will be shot in Goa and move to Chennai in the second half. Sanjay plays a Goa¬based boho character that is fun and carefree but assumes a more serious and mature tone towards the second half, after he takes up a job in Chennai and moves cities. The makers are looking at highlighting the local culture of both cities as it plays an important part in the story.” At a recent event, Sanjay was asked about the movie, the actor said, “’Marco’ is a beautiful, emotional father-daughter story.” Meanwhile, the hunt for three leading actresses is on.
‘Do Lafzon Ki Kahani’ starring Randeep Hooda and Kajal Aggarwal had an 18 second long kissing scene, the censor board has trimmed down the scene to half of its original length. The director of the movie, Deepak Tijori, said he is not happy with the censor cuts but had to helplessly accept the changes. Confirming the reduced kiss, the film’s director said, “It was a kiss of 18 seconds. It has now been reduced to 9 seconds. That’s the only visual cut we got.” Censor board also asked filmmakers to delete abusive words like s**le and k*tt*. The annoyed director said, “They had objections to words like saale, kutte, etc. I find this hilarious in this day and age when kids have access to internet full of so much more. But I have accepted the censor demands for cuts every single time quietly, with a smile.”
Housefull 3 is doing well in its second weekend though the Saturday growth could have been better. Some Hit films grow over 50% on the second Saturday while here it was in the 30-35% range.The two day business of Housefull 3 in the second week is as follows Friday - 3,50,00,000 Saturday - 4,50,00,000 apprx Total - 8,00,00,000 The total of the film is now 88 crore nett and it could be folloeing the trend of last week where the huge growth came on Sunday.
TE3N managed to show good growth on Saturday as the collections rose 60% and if the film had some sort of number on day one this would be great but with just 6.50 crore nett on the board, its still a struggle despite the growth. A similar costing Wazir which floped at the box officehad a 20 crore nett plus weekend and this is far short of even that. The first two day business of TE3N in the second week is as follows Friday - 2,50,00,000 Saturday - 4,00,00,000 apprx Total - 6,50,00,000 The film is doing better in West Bengal and Mysore (the collections doubled here on Saturday) but most circuits are very poor. Mumbai showed a good jump though the Gujarat side is not contributing which is holding back back overall circuit figures..
Housefull 3 had a normal second weekend as it grossed around 15 crore nett in its second weekend. The drop is around 70% which is a par drop. The weekend was less than Airlift which grossed around 18 crore nett in its second weekend. The film has grossed around 95 crore nett weekend. The second weekend business of Housefull 3 is as follows Friday - 3,50,00,000 Saturday - 4,75,00,000 Sunday - 6,75,00,000 apprx Total - 15,00,00,000 The film will hit the three figure mark in seventeen days but that is a bit irrelevant for big releases nowadays. More importantly the film will be the highest grosser of the year in Rajasthan, CI and possibly East Punjab. Delhi / UP will make it in terms of GROSS figures but not NETT as Airlift was Tax free in UP from second week onward.
TE3N had a poor weekend as it grossed 11 crore nett plus in its first weekend. There was growth on Saturday but Sunday showed limited improvement as the Sunday audience preferred Housefull 3 and even The Conjuring 2 . The first weekend business of TE3N in the second week is as follows Friday - 2,50,00,000 Saturday - 4,00,00,000 Sunday - 4,75,00,000 apprx Total - 11,25,00,000 The first weekend business of Wazir was a little over 20 crore nett and this which is almost the double of TE3N leaving the film with little chance unless somehow the Monday busines is 20-25% better than Friday. The film fared better in West Bengal and Mysore but was very poor in many circuits including Gujarat / Saurashtra, Delhi / UP and East Punjab.
